Science question
Heres a fun one I saw on another board...
Bob is driving his awsomely fast duramax at the speed of light, he turns on his headlights, what happens?

IMO if you could yurn them on the filaments would glow but nothing would come out of the bulb.
Thats if you could turn them on, according to Mr Einstein time stops at the speed of light so theres a bit of a conumdrum

They would light up just fine.britincali wrote:IMO if you could yurn them on the filaments would glow but nothing would come out of the bulb.

They dont know how fast they are going because they are part of the vehicle moving at speed

186,000 miles per second is as a fast as light can go.. no more.
You cant just add on the speed of the moving vehicle.... dosent matter.
It take light 8 minutes to reach the earth from the sun.
The "headlight beams" on a speed of light rocket ship would reach us in 4 minutes by your math.....
....nope.

No, I didnt say they would produce useable light, I just said the filaments would light upAlisoBob wrote:186,000 miles per second is as a fast as light can go.. no more.

Didnt you see the mythbusters episode with lauching a soccer ball off the back of a truck moving the same speed as the ball?

...How fast do electrons travel?
Could you even turn them on?

Then neither can Bob in his Duramax. Both are pretty massive.britincali wrote:Electrons have mass therfore they cannot travel at the speed of light.

According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, as an electron's speed approaches the speed of light, from an observer's point of view its relativistic mass increases, thereby making it more and more difficult to accelerate it from within the observer's frame of reference. Your link explains this Mojo.
The speed of an electron can approach, but never reach the speed of light in a vacuum, however, when relativistic electrons—that is, electrons moving at a speed close to the speed of light —are injected into a dielectric medium such as water, where the local speed of light is significantly less , the electrons temporarily travel faster than light in that medium.
That same effect could probably be demostrated in "super-conducting" materials as well.

So what is light speed really? The speed of light is dependent upon the medium through which it travels.
Ok, getting pretty deep theorizing about what would really happen if something that couldn't happen did...
Break a fundamental law of physics and you have to rewrite the book.
Too much for my tiny little brain. I just wanna ride.

If 200hp gets you down the 1/4 mile in 14 seconds
That does not mean 400hp will get you there in 7 seconds

The soccer ball idea is the same as if you were on a plane moving at the speed of a bullet and shot the gun toward the front. Some people think the bullet would fall out of the gun or that nothing would happen. I would not want to be the guy in front of the gun.
However light and its speed is a totally different beast than gun powder and lead.

If you fire a bullet in a plane towards the front of a plane traveling at say 1400 mph (rough guess on a bullett???) the bullett would be going 2800 mph.
Now if you fire it towards the rear it may fall out of the barrell.
